In 1978 the third plenary session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CCCP) set a new course of development for China, ie modernisation by way of economic reform and market opening. The reform movement changed China socially, politically, economically, and culturally. The gongan or public security is a part of that transformation process. This article is a first attempt to investigate and report upon People's Republic of China (PRC) police law reform effort — objectives, process and result — since 1978. In so doing, the article catalogues the past, describes the present, and speculates upon the future. The paper argues that police law reform in China is a reaction to a growing police legitimacy crisis attenuating the police-public relationship.
This research report will be published in two issues. In this first article, The Police Legitimacy Crisis and Police Law Reform in China: Part I, I will make the case for police law reform in China politically, historically and doctrinally. The second article, The Police Legitimacy Crisis and Police Law Reform in China: Part II, will detail and discuss the direction, promulgation, actualisation and concluding observations of PRC police law reform.
